Trump resort in Scotland vandalised over Gaza comments

Donald Trump’s Scottish golf resort in Turnberry has been vandalised by activists in apparent response to the US president’s statements on the Gaza Strip.

The golf course in South Ayrshire, owned by Trump, was targeted overnight, with activists painting “Gaza Is Not For *****” in three-metre high letters on the lawn and damaging the greens including the course’s most prestigious hole, used in Open Championships.

Red spray paint was used to deface the elite club house at the 800-acre resort on Friday night.

Palestine Action described it as a “direct response to the US administration’s stated intent to ethnically cleanse Gaza”.

Trump’s recent comments include plans to “clean out the whole thing”.

The US president last week posted an AI-made video on Truth Social which included himself and Israel’s president Benjamin Netanyahu, shirtless, drinking at the “Trump Gaza” resort.

The creator of the AI video, which shows a gold balloon shaped like Trump’s head in a satire inspired by comparing the Las Vegas Strip with the Gaza Strip, said it was a joke and there were concerns it might offend the White House.

A spokesperson from Palestine Action said: “Palestine Action rejects Donald Trump’s treatment of Gaza as though it were his property to dispose of as he likes.

“To make that clear, we have shown him that his own property is not safe from acts of resistance.

“We will continue to take action against US-Israeli colonialism in the ************ homeland.”

Police Scotland said they received a report of damage to the golf course and a premises in Turnberry.

A spokesman for Trump Turnberry said: “This was a childish, criminal act but the incredible team at Trump Turnberry will ensure it does not impact business.

“Turnberry is a national treasure and will continue to be the number one beacon of luxury and excellence in the world of golf.”
